Independence for Young Millennials: moving out and boomeranging back
In the recent issue of the BLS Labor Review, data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997 examines the process of household formation for young adults born between 1980 and 1984. By age 27, about 90 percent of these individuals had left their parental households at least once and more than 50 percent of them had moved back at some point after moving out. Boomeranging is correlated with certain individual and family characteristics, including gender, race, educational attainment and household income. For more on this story and the economic impact.
